BDuring the past Spring Festival, many children may have received red packets from their families. But Xing Pu, a 40-year-old economist, is asking the government to give red packets to every Chinese citizen. Xing suggested the government give out 1,000 yuan to each Chinese since the government income has increased rapidly in recent years. He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the country's economic success, help the lower-income groups deal with rising prices and increase consumption（消费）around the country. Recent years have seen the government carry out a series of pro-poor (扶贫) and pro-rural （惠农） policies, including increasing spending on public healthcare and calling off the agricultural tax. But the lower-income group still needs more help while being hit hard by an 11-year high in prices and recent snowstorms. Xing said while making the draft, he has borrowed many ideas from practices in countries like the United States and Singapore. Earlier this year, the governments of the two nations offered cash handouts （救济） to their citizens as the result of a surplus in government income. As for in China, "We can even encourage the rich to donate their 1,000 yuan red packet to the poor," said Xing. Although Xing's suggestion has gained wide support among ordinary Chinese on the Internet, many other economists criticized it as unpractical. Even Xing himself admitted he made the suggestion without any careful calculation. But they agreed with Xing's point that the growing economic pie should be shared among the people. "To better use the increase of money, handing out money is not a solution that holds good for all time. It could be better to improve the public service or cut the price of energy use in daily life," said Qiao Xinsheng, an economic professor. 46. Xing Pu suggested that the government give out 1,000 yuan to each Chinese because ______. 第 5 页 共 13 页

A. the poor should get help from the rich B. the government should help the rich C. the growing economic pie should be shared among the people D. the government doesn’t know how to use the money 47. What has the government done to help the lower-income group ? A. Spending less on public health care. C. Carrying out pro-poor policies. A. Supplying food to everyone every day. B. Cutting off the price of energy use in daily life. C. Controlling the rising of prices. D. Increasing the government income. 49. Xing Pu's ideas of giving red packets to every Chinese citizen mainly came from ______. A. children receiving red packets from their families B. the US and Singapore governments offering cash handouts to their citizens C. the government's increasing spending on public health care D. the rising prices in the country 50. Xing Pu's suggestion ______. A. was supported by everyone in the country C. was supported by the government B. caused debates on the internet D. would be adopted soon B. Increasing the agricultural tax. D. Handing out money to every Chinese.

48. According to some experts, what is better than giving out money?

CHistorians usually just study great things that happened in the past time, but Drew Faust has made history! On February 11, 2007, Faust was named president of Harvard University. She is the first woman to hold the position in the school's 371-year history. "I am a historian," she said. "I've spent a lot of time thinking about the past, and about how it shapes the future. No university in the country, perhaps the world, has as remarkable a past as Harvard's. " "And our common enterprise is to make Harvard's future even more remarkable than its past. That will mean recognizing and building on what we already do well. It will also mean recognizing what we don't do as well as we should, and not being satisfied until we find ways to do better." It is her great desire for improvement and willingness to try out new ideas that have given Drew success in a world controlled by men. "This is a man's world, my girl, and the sooner you

learn that, the better off you'll be." Drew Faust recalls her mother telling her this when she was young, but she didn't buy it. Faust grew up in a well-off family in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley in the 1950s. Even then, she was a trailblazer (先驱). A conversation with her family's black handyman (零工) and driver inspired her to write a letter, on school notebook paper, to President Dwight Eisenhower. She asked that he help bring US citizens together in the south, a much divided part of the country at the time. "Drew Faust is a historian with her eyes on the future," said Susan Graham, a professor of Harvard. Many of the university's schools said that they believe Harvard will have a brighter future under the leadership of Drew Faust. 51. Why does the writer say Drew Faust has made history? A. Because she is a historian. B. Because she was president of Harvard University. C. Because she was the first woman to be president of Harvard University. D. Because Harvard has a remarkable past. 49. What do we know about historians? A. They usually study great things that happened in the past. B. They are usually presidents of universities. C. They are usually born in well-off families. A. accept B. expect D. They are usually women. C. purchase D. afford 53. What does the underlined word ''buy'' in the fourth paragraph mean? 54. What did her mother mean by saying ''This is a man’s world, my girl... '' ? A. To encourage her to do man's work. C. To ask her to be well-off. A. Faust was born in the north of the US. B. She wrote a letter to President Eisenhower when she became president of Harvard. C. Faust's desire for improvement and willingness to try out new ideas has given her success. D. Historians just care about great things that happened in the past. B. To tell her to do things as a girl should do. D. To expect her to be a historian.

50. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

DAbout 400 high school students from Western Pennsylvania and the neighboring state of Ohio joined a heated discussion recently on "China: What Does the Future Hold?"

第 7 页 共 13 页

"It's either going to turn out really good or really bad - who knows?" said Braveen Ragunathan, a senior from an Ohio high school. In his mind all Americans are connected to China in some way. The forum (论坛) was held in Pittsburgh, once a US industrial center, now facing job-cuts because of competition brought about by globalization. The aim of the forum is to help American students learn more about the outside world. Elliott Blackwell, a junior at the Neighborhood Academy, said the forum let him know more about how China's economic development will affect America in the future. Some students, although impressed by China's economic boom, expressed uneasiness about the nation's practices and differences from the American way of doing business and politics. "China is a power coming up，so they might challenge us," Paul Amon, a junior from Oil City High School, said. "I'd hope that China can be our partner but I think that we'd clash (冲突) along the way because we're too different," he added. George Riley, a teacher explained: "The view of China is usually negative (否定的) and I think that's fueled by the media." However, some negative feelings are not from the media. Merri Ebel is a senior at East Allegheny High School north of Pittsburgh. Both her parents lost their jobs recently. The company they worked for said it was cheaper to produce goods in China rather than the US. "China is just this big question mark. China was just a big country with millions of people that no one really knew about because it was so far away and our class was more American history based," she said. For better or worse US teenagers are eager to know more about China, the forum shows. 56. From the passage we know that most US teenagers ______. A. know only a little about China C. know nothing about China A. China and the US are too different C. China and the US are enemies A. their teachers affect them C. newspapers and online news affect them 59. Which of the following from the passage is true? A. The view of China is usually positive. B. The forum is not necessary at all. B. know much about China D. like China very much B. China and the US are close partners D. they know China very well B. their classmates affect them D. the forum affects them

E(RAMALLAH, West Bank) — Israel （以色列） freed 26 Palestinian （巴勒斯坦） prisoners early Wednesday, the second of four groups to be released as part of an agreement that started the current Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, which had broken down since 2008. In all, 104 prisoners are to be released in four rounds over the coming months. In the West Bank and Gaza（加沙）, the mood was overexcited as hundreds of Palestinians welcomed the prisoners back home, after many had spent more than 20 years behind bars. Crowds of people rushed toward the 5 prisoners released to Gaza, raising them on their shoulders, waving Palestinian flags and dancing to music. Relatives held signs that read “we will never forget our heroes.” More than 2,000 people welcomed the 21 prisoners released to the West Bank, who were greeted at a ceremony by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah. Hazem Shubair, thrown into prison in 1994 for the death of an Israeli according to the Israeli Prison Service, was over delighted upon his return to Gaza. “I am speechless,” he said. “Thanks to God. God is greater than the aggressors,” meaning Israel. Abbas said a final peace agreement with Israel was possible on the release of the prisoners. “There will be no final agreement without the release of all the prisoners,” he told the violent crowd. Israel’s Supreme Court (最高法院) earlier refused an appeal that intended to cancel the prisoner release. An organization of bereaved (失去亲人的) families behind the appeal has said it fears the prisoners, all in connection to the deaths of Israelis, will return to violence once freed. 61. Why did Israel free 26 Palestinian prisoners early Wednesday? A. Because they would take part in the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. B. Because that was part of an agreement between Israel and Palestinians. C. Because the current Israeli-Palestinian peace talks failed. D. Because the peace talks had broken down since 2008. 62. How many Palestinian prisoners had been released by Wednesday? A. 21 B. 26. C. Over 26. 第 9 页 共 13 页 D. 104.

63. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Wednesday’s release was the whole part of the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. B. The other 104 Palestinian prisoners will be freed in the coming months. C. All the Palestinian prisoners were greeted by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. D. All the Palestinian prisoners were welcomed warmly. 64. There will be no final peace agreement between Israel and Palestinians until______. A. all the Palestinian prisoners kept in Israeli prisons are set free B. all the prisoners return to violence once again C. God is greater than the aggressors D. Palestinians welcome some prisoners back home 65. From the last paragraph we know _______. A. Israel stopped to release the rest of the Palestinian prisoners B. some Israelis didn’t agree to release the Palestinian prisoners C. all the Israelis are in favor of setting the Palestinian prisoners free D. the Palestinian prisoners will return to violence once freed

In a special school for the hearing impaired (听觉受 损的), he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words. [ 2 ] Later Adrian's parents decided to send him to a regular school.

parents were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work every day because they wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn' t always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school [ 3 ] The effort made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race —being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so. [ 4 ] But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother.
